Clicker Zombie Makeup Tutorial from Freakmo. This is a pretty detailed zombie makeup tutorial for a Clicker Zombie from the game “The Last Of Us.”

Freakmo goes into detail on how she sculpted, cast, and painted the fungoid mask for this epic cosplay. Materials are mentioned as well. This is a great tutorial for anyone considering doing something more ambitious than just the average “raccoon eyes” zombie makeup you see so often.

If you haven’t played “The Last Of Us” and are wondering what a “Clicker” is:

“Clickers” is the nickname given to humans in the third stage of the Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis infection. They have had prolonged exposure to the fungus and are completely blind. Navigation is still possible using an adaptive echolocation, similar to that of most bats. This makes an eerie clicking sound, thus earning Clickers their nickname.

I’ve been doing a lot of sculpting and casting in resin over the last year. I can really appreciate the amount of work that went into making the mold for this clicker zombie makeup tutorial. This is a multi-part mold and she’s casting in layers. Her comments on painting techniques are very informative as well. Holy cow though, that is a lot of work for one mask.

This makes my own zombie makeup efforts look like amateur hour. Visit her youtube channel if you are interested in upping your cosplay game. Especially when it comes to makeup and special effects. You can subscribe to the rest of Freakmo’s makeup tutorials here.

Fair warning of course. The makeup tutorials on her channel are pretty grisly. Everything from zombies to severed fingers. I’m grossed out and obsessed with them. To be expected with zombie makeup, but you have been warned.

It’s a new year for The Zombie Nation. Last year petered out and ended with a whimper for the comic as I was buried under Freelance work and other….. Unspeakable things. Things that to even glimpse them would drive you mad.

Thankfully the wife got a job she loves that makes it so I don’t have to take some many freelance jobs and work so late. This translates directly into more effort to creating more for The Zombie Nation and my wife’s company Adorablyevil.com Basically this is the year to turn this hobby into a full fledged business. That brings me to my New Year’s Resolution:

Maintain my update schedule Get my The Comic’s graphic novels done Get my “Big Book Of The Undead” project done Get my wife’s side of the business up and running Make new products for the store Master the art of promoting the comic better and marketing Start writing more and posting more zombie articles Start my youtube drawing channel Get Elvira Mistress of the Dark to sign my boob

That last one is key to my plans for global domination. With luck, willpower, and various pacts with dark Gods 2016 is looking like its going to be a very big year for me.

8 Bit a.k.a. the third generation of gaming started in 1983 with the Japanese release of the Nintendo Family Computer and Sega. Can you guess what games inspired our 8-bit version of Army of Darkness? Comment below and suggest the next movie 8-bit Cinema should “gamify”.

Help my friend Tim Marquitz give you want you crave…. what you want…. Ultimately what you need.

I’m a part of this Kickstarter and Tim is an amazing writer. Support his work for some zombie awesomeness.

A humorous zombie novel written by the dark and demented mind behind the Demon Squad!

Join Ashford Dane as his post-apocalyptic existence is thrown into chaos by the sudden arrival of a ZILF!

Yeah, you know what I’m talkin’ about. If not, look it up. I’ll wait…

Comfortably situated at the end of the world Ash stumbles across a group of soldiers traveling through his neighborhood and meets Vix, the hottest pseudo-corpse since Lily Munster. Lonely, and mostly bored off his ass, Ash invites them to dinner only to have uninvited guests show up for a nibble. A cannibalistic nibble, that is, and these guys like their meat burnt.

Ash’s home and a lifetime of supplies go up in flames and he’s forced to flee with the soldiers. Nowhere else to go he joins their mission: To hunt down the only scientist capable of saving Vix from the horrible infection that threatens to turn her into a full blown zombie.

Things just go downhill from there, hordes of zombies standing between them and their goal. But hey, if they succeed maybe then Ash’ll stand a chance of escaping the dreaded friend zone.

Like the Demon Squad novels, ZILF! will be jam-packed with crazy action, adventure, and excitement, as well as chock full of witty one liners and topical humor (likely requiring some kind of cream) with all the zombie tropes turned on their decayed little heads in fun and interesting ways.

Tim Marquitz does some amazing work. And with 65 hours to go needs a little bit of a push to make this happen. Help a brother out and get cool stuff.
